The lock function is automatically activated when the required data
is available. When the data is not available, the radar display and the
chart display will both function as individual standard displays. This
synchronized feature is only available in the Radar & Chart display.
3.2.10 General features for the radar operation
• Alarms:
The alarms that can appear in connection with the radar operation,
are:
- Bearing pulse alarm (check if scanner is rotating)
- Bearing zero alarm (check if scanner is rotating)
- Changing to Head-Up alarm (indicates the orientation mode has
changed - see section 3.2.5 and 3.2.7)
- Communication failure alarm (check connection to scanner)
- Communication time-out failure alarm (no communication
between display and scanner)
- Guard Zone alarm (see GZ under section 3.2.5)
- Heading missing alarm (check connection to compass)
- Position missing alarm (see Position update under section 6.3)
- Rotation lock alarm (check if scanner is rotating)
- Trigger fail alarm (check connection to scanner)
• Off-center mode (only when operating in RM - Relative Motion)
– permits the operator to obtain a greater view in the direction of
interest. Place the cursor within 2/3 of the display and press the [0]
key. The ship’s position will now be moved to the cursor position and
thereby increasing the desired area of view. To deactivate the Off-
center mode, press [CLR] and [0]. This will replace the ship’s posi-
tion back at the center of the display. If the radar system is turned off
while the Off-center mode is on, at next power up the offset mode
will still be on.
• PLOT function – will require that a heading sensor (Gyro or Com-
pass) is connected to the CX34/44/54. If so, then you can plot the
actual cursor position on the radar display by pressing [PLOT], [2]
from the radar display, and thereby save the position in the WP-list
as a waypoint i.e. you can give the plotted waypoint a new name/
number, symbol, color, etc.
